I brought my 1986 635csi to these guys and they did a fantastic job. The car underwent some pretty major suspension refresh. They replaced just about every component you can think of under the car for me. They were priced fairly and kept me up to date on the status of the car and my expectations. Eric Knows his stuff and is proud of his company. My gas cap went missing during the service and he replaced with a new one and an original one free of charge. Overall I was Very Happy I recommend these guys for any modern or vintage BMW.

Boyd Motor Werks has the BEST BMW mechanics that you will find anywhere. I have been going to Boyd's for about 6 months now and I have seen them quite a few times. Every time I go in, they always know what the issues are and their so quick, and effective. DO NOT take your car anywhere else in Portland. These guys are the best! After having a bad experience at another shop, Boyd's is all I recommend. Eric is amazing! Sooo customer service oriented. He will always do right by his customers!

Unreliable service. New owner is a nice guy but his techs keep letting him down IMO. Had to re-do two separate $1500 jobs (Serpentine belt and starter) on my X3 because they weren't done correctly the first time by Boyd. Gave them the benefit of the doubt after they botched the serpentine belt job causing near catastrophic failure to the motor. After multiple unsuccessful visits (one lasting two weeks) to re-fix a newly installed starter, finally took it to the dealer to get it done right. Fool me once. fool me twice.

I've had a variety of work done here on my E46. I have no complaints. These guys know what they're doing, they do a great job and they don't charge an arm and a leg. Highly recommended! Services: General repairs & maintenance, Oil change, Engine repair, Brakes, Steering & suspension repair

I had a 740il e38 that would crank with no start. I dropped the car off. To later find out that the wiring harness was bad. The fuse box was full, of water, and multiple other things. As this was unfortunate news. The team at Boyd did not charge me for the hours of work they put inspecting the car, but helped me come to the conclusion it was time to part it out; saved me a lot of time and money. These guys are professional and do very great work 5/5

Honestly the best experience I've ever had with a shop. Eric is such a stand up guy. Brought in a BMW from a less than perfect sale. Every time I've taken it into the shop they have been fair, fast, honest and most of all their work is good. My car has come back better after each visit. If you care about your BMW take it here.

I've been bring my 2008 BMW here since the warranty was up. The crew at Boyd always gives me a heads up on work I will need to do in the near future and their rates are fair and reasonable. It's always the same friendly crew when I arrive. I am never hit with surprise extra charges. They are just great, hard-working mechanics that are experts on BMW! Im so thrilled I found a much better alternative to expensive dealer service that is just as good if not better!

If you have a BMW and don't want to deal with the none personal service advisors at a BMW dealership with the standard over the top markup and recommendations that aren't needed than I highly recommend Eric and his shop. He just does the right thing.

Another 5 star review. Boyd knows BMWs. And I don't think you can beat a mechanic that specializes in one brand of car. Prices are fair, and much better than the bloodletting you'll get from the dealer. Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Oil change, Electrical repair, Electrical, Steering & suspension repair

Friendly; Fair priced and great to work with. I very much enjoyed having them help me with my vehicle. I would definitely recommend anyone with a BMW head here before going anywhere else. It's worth a visit.

I am glad I found convenient BMW repair on the Eastside. Easy scheduling, a good price. A bit abrupt at check-out but all other communication was excellent.

Eric was super prompt and was delighted to take my couple phone calls the few days my E30 was at Boyd's. Ultra competitive pricing and they know their stuff on BMWs. Got my oil pan gasket done for a super fair value - job was done professionally and aquick turn around. Thanks Eric and co! No more oil drops on the driveway. Very rare for us E30 enthusiasts

Replaced an amplifier in my e38 with dsp from an e39 with dsp. It needed to be coded to work. Medford BMW wouldn't even attempt to do it, even though I would have payed them. My normal shop was going to charge 2 hours labor just to try. I drove to Portland for a doctor's appointment and stopped here. It took him about 10 minutes to code the amp and he told me to enjoy my radio. I highly recommend this shop. I don't recommend Medford BMW.

Eric Boyd and his crew are straight up magicians. They've helped me and my 5 series wagon through a myriad of routine checkups, forewarnings of things to come as well as helping me take BMW to the mat due to recalls and class action suits that they were not being totally honest about. My last trip in was a 95k checkup and a fix on a valve gasket. My beast drives as fast and mean as the day I got it back in 2010. Highly recommended, honest and dependable, even in a pinch. Bravo!

Nice people, except they quoted me an outrageous price of $600-$1000 to put on a few bolt on aftermarket parts for my mini. When I went across the street and they gave me a quote of. $400. Go figure.

Best place for a BMW - much better than the dealership. After working with the BMW dealership and with Eric at Boyd Motor Werks, it's no contest. I much prefer Boyd. Great mechanics, great customer service, and they are honest - only recommending the work that needs to be done and no more. Eric has answered quick questions for me in between services and given excellent advice.

Do yourself a favor and don't go anywhere else for BMW service in Portland. Just don't. I was ready to sell my BMW when the dealership said they couldn't replace the burned out turn signal light bulb (which runs about $3) because the burnt out bulb had damaged the headlight housing and they'd have to replace the entire component for ~$2,000 parts and labor. Fortunately I found Eric and his team for a second opinion.

I hadn't been in before but they still got me in quickly. He quoted me a much better price for the work and I verbally agreed to it before they had even looked at it. I left the shop just to receive a call that they had fixed the headlight without replacing it! He saved me a ton of money and so much stress. It's hard to find businesses that operate with such transparent integrity. I won't go anywhere else, ever. And you shouldn't either.

I was in need of a reliable and fair priced repair for a small oil leak on my older BMW. Eric Edwards, owner and operator was friendly and immediately earned my trust when I walked into his shop without an appointment. I explained the condition, he diagnosed the repair needed immediately and quoted me a price that was slightly less than 50% of the price from another shop I had been using for years.

He offered to fix it within 1-2 days. He successfully performed the repair at the low price we agreed without a long lead-time. His personal approach, including handshake, were reassuring and he noted a couple of minor items to keep a watch on before my next visit. He didn't try to oversell or alarm, rather inform as a trusted colleague. This shop is considerably further from my home and I noted it from an advertisement they had previously sent.

I will continue to use this shop exclusively for my BMW repair needs and highly recommend others do as well. Eric and team are a welcome surprise in the auto repair business.

I had the project car from hell trying to pass DEQ. Boyd was my third shop I had taken my car to with the problem of it not passing DEQ. Eric spent countless hours working on all the (why's) my car wouldn't pass, Eric went over and beyond the other shops to get my car to pass DEQ and with success it did. While he had my car he kept in contact so I knew the progress, good or bad.

While he had my car he was kind enough to give me a loner. If you need to have your car serviced or if you have a problem that no one else can solve take it to Boyd, he will not give up on you. Thank you Eric

I called to ask for same day service for an alignment. Even though they were basically scheduled out for the day, Eric squeezed me in. It saved Me another trip into town and another day of time off from work. The work performed was top notch.

Have been to a few BMW specialists in the Portland and Vancouver area, but Eric and the team by far exceeded everybody else. Have taken 2 of my cars there and will continue to do so. Very highly recommended. Honest work & fair prices.

First of all I would just like to how THANKFUL I am to have found you guys! These guys are amazing at what they do. I had some people tell me oh take your car to a BMW Dealership shop they will do a great job and hey I wouldn't mind that but when I have these guys a call Eric is very easy to talk to and they really work with you on giving you a quote so you know ahead of time and prepared.

I remember the first time I had my car done I brought them pizza as a token of my appreciate and if I could I would treat them on the daily! They do outstanding customer service, communication and overall just great people! I know you guys have been seeing me quite often so I really appreciate all the work you guys do! Thank you guys so much!

Luckily I found Boyd Motor Werks after I had a very negative experience with another Indy shop (tried to change their labor cost by $2,200 after they looked at my car). Eric was quick to get me in and installed my M-Performance Brake kit, stainless lines, and springs perfectly. I had heard of shops having a hard time with soft brake feel after the install, but mine feel great.

They knew enough to recode the car correctly and made sure there was zero air in the lines (both causes of soft feel brakes after the kit install). I will definitely be recommending Eric's shop, and may go back for more work even though they are on the opposite side of town. Thanks Eric, keep up the great work!

I would not recommend this place. My check engine light came on a week back and a couple days later one of my tires popped. Anyways, long story short, I ordered my specific tire online and brought it to the shop for them to change it out and read the codes that were causing my check engine light to come on. The next day, they called me and said nothing was wrong with my car.

It was an issue with the gas cap being put on wrong that caused the check engine light to come on. So, just to read the codes on my car and change the tire (that I bought prior) they charged me $155. I asked around to make sure that price was ridiculous, and it was. This place ripped me off and I wouldn't recommend it. They took advantage of a struggling college student and they will Not get my business again. Edit: Eric, another mechanic from the shop called me and explained all of the charges in detail.

He also sincerely apologized for the experience and offered me an oil change next time I come in. I really appreciated the explanation of what I was charged for and the personal apology. I changed my review because I will be taking my car back to this shop in the future.

Very happy to have found Eric and his team. It's not easy to find a mechanic who has the knowledge and is willing to go the extra mile, especially with a vintage car. If you've got an older BMW, in my case a 1968 BMW 2002 - I highly recommend working with them. They have the knowledge and they really care about the cars. thanks again Eric.

These guys are the REAL DEAL! Brought a 2007 650i in for a pre-buy inspection. They were busy and I am from out of town. Eric said the soonest he could do is Monday, but I leave this weekend. He agreed to take it last minute. They performed an inspection 100% above and beyond what I expected. Even told me cigarette lighter didn't work (who tests that? Ha!).

Fair price for a job well done. I was not able to negotiate a deal on the car (go figure) but happy I spent the money to double check. I would have paid $13k for car. Ask was $14k. After the pre inspection defects found, I offered $12k. And would have gone to $12.5-$13k. They rebutted w $13k and came all the way to my number, $12.5k. But the place was sketchy and unprofessional, so I decided to find another car. If I lived in Portland, This place would be my shop!

I don't usually use the terms auto mechanic and trustworthy in the same sentence, but I will with Eric and Boyd Motor Werks. I have owned several BMW's over the past 20 years and recently passed my 2005 530! down to my son who lives in Portland. We needed some repairs and took it to Eric as he was honest about the service needed and offered a fair price for the repairs.

Unfortunately after the service was completed we had another issue that we couldn't determine if it was a result of the repairs or a new problem. Eric and his team took complete responsibility that the new issue was corrected and did so at his time and expense. Having a mechanic you can trust, and have faith won't take advantage of you, is uncommon these days, and I am extremely happy we found Eric and Boyd Motor Werks

If I could tell you, that YOU could save $15,000 dollars by not coming here, would that sway your decision? To save you from reading the long, drawn out version of my story, the short version is I took my car in for a routine oil change, and after many return visits over the course of a week, $900 dollars in repairs later, the final diagnosis was that my 2011 BMW needed a new engine.

Of course, this was devastating, but something did not set right with this. I decided to take my car for a second opinion, and it was quickly discovered that not only did the engine NOT need to be replaced (they couldn't fathom how this conclusion was even met), BUT my car's repair was completely covered by a recall, leaving me to not cover 1 penny of the expense. The diagnosis was quickly discovered with the connection of a computer, and the diagnostic code appearing. How this was not caught by a BMW specific work shop is beyond me.
